Z9305/Z9309 Zero Delay Clock Buffer Preliminary Product Features * * * * Product Description Zero input-output propagation delay Output-output skew less than 250 ps Device-device skew less than 700 ps One input drives nine outputs, grouped as 4/4/1 (Z9309) 10 MHz to 150 MHz operating range, compatible with CPU and PCI bus frequencies Less than 200 ps cycle-cycle jitter, compatible with Pentium and Pentium Pro -based systems Test Mode to bypass PLL (Z9309) Available in space-saving 16 pin 150-mil SOIC and TSSOP package (Z9309), and 8 pin 150 Mil SOIC package (Z9305) * * * * Block Diagram (Z9305) REF PLL CLKOUT CLK1 CLK2 CLK3 CLK4 Block Diagram (Z9309) REF The Z9309 is a low cost 3.3V zero delay buffer designed to distribute high speed clocks in PC system devices and SDRAM modules and is available in a 16pin SOIC or TSSOP package. The Z9305 is an 8-pin version of the Z9309 and it accepts one reference input and drives out five low skew clocks. The devices have an on-chip PLL which locks to an input clock on the REF pin. The PLL feedback is on-chip and is obtained from the CLKOUT pad. The Z9309 has two banks of four outputs each, which can be controlled by the Select inputs as shown in the Table 1. If all output clocks are not required, Bank B can be tri-stated. The select inputs also allow the input clock to be directly applied to the output for chip and system testing purposes. The Z9305 and Z9309 PLLs enter a Power Down mode when there are no rising edges on the REF input. In this state, the outputs are tri-stated and the PLL is turned off, resulting in less than 50 uA of current draw. The Z9309 PLL shuts down in one additional case as shown in Table 1. Multiple Z9305 and Z9309 devices can accept the same input clock and distribute it. In this case, the skew between the outputs of two devices is guaranteed to be less than 700 ps. CLKOUT All outputs have less than 200 ps of cycle-cycle jitter. The input to output propagation delay is guaranteed to be less than 350 ps, and the output to output skew is guaranteed to be less than 250 ps.

Since the CLKOUT pin is the internal feedback to the PLL, its relative loading can adjust the input-output delay. This is shown in the above graph. For applications requiring zero input-output delay, all outputs including CLKOUT must be equally loaded. Even if CLKOUT is not used, it must have a capacitive load equal to that on other outputs. If input to output delay adjustments are required, use the above graph to calculate loading differences between the CLKOUT pin and other outputs. For zero output-output skew, be sure to load all outputs equally. INTERNATIONAL MICROCIRCUITS, INC. 525 LOS COCHES ST. MILPITAS, CA 95035. TEL: 408-263-6300.

For proper operation, Vin and Vout should be constrained to the range: VSS<(Vin or Vout)
